Our origin story

(That's Lee, at age 12)

I've always loved building sand castles. I grew up going to the beach every summer with my family, to places like Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Gulf Shores, Alabama, and always built sand castles. Sand castles are playful, creative, joyful fun in the sand.

So when I had a chance a few years ago to take my kids to Hawaii, I was SO excited to build sand castles with them😊. But it was totally disappointing! The only things available were uselessly flimsy toddler toys that broke instantly. 😭

So we enlisted some friends, spent hours and hours building sand castles, made something WAY better, and PUFFERFISH was born! We hope you have as much fun with our products as we do. Have a blast!
